Does GridView trigger PageIndexChanged event?

Hi,

When I click on the page numbers at the buttom of the gridview, does it trigger the PageIndexChanged event on its own?

What I found to thsi point is that, I have to capture the RowCommand event, and set PageIndex myself, in order to trigger the PageIndexChanged event. It makes me feel that I missed something. This doesn't make any sense.

Code:

switch (e.CommandName) {
...
                case "Page":
                    GridView1.PageIndex = Int32.Parse((string)(e.CommandArgument)) - 1;
                    break;

Yes, the PageIndexChanged event does fire whenever you click a page number. If you create a PageIndexChanged event handler, you should be able to confirm that the event is firing, as well as determine the current page index in the handler.

Found out what's wrong, I didn't turn on EnableSortingAndPagingCallbacks.
